PROJECT The pedagogical experience described in the project Savouring the ancient atmosphere on the streets of Mugla has been developed by means of a Laboratory of Expressive Techniques of Drawing, Graphic and Photography.
Different techniques have been employed in relation to the different approaches to the study of the urban setting of Mugla and the surrounding environment. In order to offer the students the possibility to select and use the means, tools and techniques coping with the communicative objective chosen, the relationship between the expressive media and the result aimed to has been investigated by following an educational itinerary structured in three fundamental phases.

OPERATIVE METHODOLOGY
First phase
Presentation and experimentation of a series of practical techniques related to the graphic representation (by employing different tools and materials)- Workshop
As a result, the following techniques have been chosen :
Charcoal drawing (black and coloured)
Crayon drawing (coloured and pencil)
Indian ink drawing
Printing with linoleum matrix
Xylography
Photography
The techniques have been presented also by using famous models of some great Art Masters such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Durer, Escher, etc.
These techniques have been experimented by the students both during the workshop and the curricular art activities.
Second phase
Analysis of the results
Analysis of the communicative features resulted from the employment of the different techniques
Four main communicative fields have been selected :
1°, direct correspondence to reality : photography
2°, chromatic interpretation by using gradation and descriptive detailing : coloured crayons
3°, strong contrast between foreground and background with prevalence of ample contrasts and/or strong composed linearism : engraving techniques (linoleum and xylography)
4°, need to realize works with features of immediacy, such as sketches, quick details, etc. : black and coloured charcoal.
Third phase
On the field application. Outdoor activity Wander through Mugla’s downtown streets and choice of the perspective, the architectonic and environmental detail, landscape, etc.
Fourth phase
Realization of the works and exposition at school.
EVALUATION
Assessment is provided in three distinguished phases.
First phase
Ongoing assessment and monitoring of the different phases of the project
Assessment of the work progress in relation to the objectives
Remedial intervention where necessary
Second phase
Evaluation of the final result in relation to the objectives
Assessment of the students’ learning level in relation to the subject proposed
Assessment of the students’ acquired knowledge and competences
Third phase
Evaluation of the individual’s and group’s ability to carry on an assigned task
Evaluation of the interest and commitment in carrying out a concrete task based on a real request (realization of a product and its application in a real context)
Evaluation of the operative dynamics pursued individually and in group during the different project phases
Evaluation of the ability of the individual or the group in presenting their own work
